Our House

God amazes me everyday.

Here is our house story: In April we found out we didn't owe money on our taxes and had sold the Jeep. So we had money for a down payment on a house. If you know me you know I am super tight with money and change scares me:)So needless to say this was a big deal. Jay and Gavin had talked about money and being wise with what God gives you. We spend a mortgage payment each month in rent and it gets wasted away. So anyways I told Gavin in April that I would start to look at homes and pray about what to do.(scared to death) The only thing I really wanted in a house is 2 sinks in the master bath and a garden tub, pretty silly but its what I wanted in a house.I also said I would not buy if we didn't get the first time home buyers credit. The market in California is absolutly crazy, so to find a house in three weeks is insane. We put offers on townhomes, condos, and homes and got out bid everytime. Then we had to go out of town for the last week of April. Our relator was great and put offers on houses that she thought we would like. Thursday night the 29th all of our offers had been out bid but one house. We both thought there was no way. Then we get a phone call Friday morning... they accepted our offer...... I was in shock.... then we had to get in escrow (by the way we still hadn't seen the house at this point).

We got in escrow at 4:06 pm

We got to see the house it needs a little love but it is perfect! and of course it has

2 sinks in the master bath and
a garden tub..... and even a lemon tree

God just said "Nicole I am bigger than you even know and I will provide."
